This gives ALL League fixtures meaning and not just the 1st XI. There
could be genuine interest among ALL schoolboy cricketers and an opportunity
for schools to view their holistic progress.
It is hoped that this incentive will push schools to develop cricket
across the board. Strong grass roots will produce a strong 1st XI, representative
cricketers, recreational cricketers and create general cricket enthusiasm
and interest across the school age groups, across the schools and across
the country.

Points are weighted to give slightly more credence / importance
to the senior results.
For this year 2nd XI results will count in the league where
both schools have submitted 2nd XI teams.
Schools in bold
have indicated they will enter 2nd XI’s

Matches shall be of 25 overs a side. If the start of
a match is delayed by more than 30 minutes by adverse weather
or other unavoidable cause, its length shall be reduced by
5 overs a side for each complete 30 minutes lost. The intention
is to ensure that all matches (apart from Eadie Shield matches)
are completed by 12.30 pm.

Bowlers may bowl a maximum of 1/5 of the overs available
when the match starts.

Schools may move some of their matches forward but not
before the preceding Saturday of the published date. Schools
may move some of their matches backwards but not after the
following Saturday of the published date. This allows them
to make better use of their grounds / staff resources.

If no match takes place it cannot be replayed.

In order to create some continuity to fixture organisation,
when arranging home and away fixtures with another school,
we encourage the following system to be used :
1st XI, U13,
U12 will play home or away as a block. 2nd XI, U15, U14 will
play home or away as a block.

In the spirit of the game, players are not able to play
in a second league game for another age group against the
same opposition.

This format will run for the 2011 season and will be reviewed
for the 2012 season.
